Hello @Sharan ,
STMicroelectronics brings the necessary support to develop and use your Qt application to make it run on the target, but this question sounds more like a Qt specific topic.

I think the Qt official documentation or Qt forum could help you more than we can.

Kind regards,
Erwan.

Seems there is an example how to read/show pdf in Qt:

For creating PDFs, there are tons of libraries, some of them open-source.
